In this paper, we examine a scenario in which late-time cosmic acceleration might arise due to the coupling between baryonic matter and dark matter without the presence of extra degrees of freedom. In this case, one can obtain late-time acceleration in Jordan frame and not in Einstein frame. We consider two different forms of parametrization of the coupling function, and put constraints on the model parameters by using an integrated dataset of Hubble parameter, Type Ia supernova and baryon acoustic oscillations. The models under consideration are consistent with the observations. In addition, we perform the statefinder and [Formula: see text] diagnostics, and show that the models exhibit a distinctive behavior due to the phantom characteristic in future which is a generic feature of the underlying scenario.

In this paper, we investigate a scenario in which late-time cosmic acceleration might arise due to coupling between dark matter and baryonic matter without resorting to dark energy or large-scale modification of gravity associated with extra degrees of freedom. The scenario can give rise to late-time acceleration in Jordan frame and no acceleration in Einstein frame — generic modification of gravity caused by disformal coupling. Using a simple parametrization of the coupling function, in maximally disformal case, we constrain the model parameters by using the age constraints due to globular cluster data. We also obtain observational constraints on the parameters using [Formula: see text] datasets. In this case, we distinguish between phantom and non-phantom acceleration and show that the model can give rise to phantom behavior in a narrow region of parameter space.

ABSTRACT We constrain and update the bounds on the lifetime of a decaying dark matter model with a warm massive daughter particle using the most recent low-redshift probes. We use Supernovae Type-Ia, Baryon Acoustic Oscillations and the time delay measurements of gravitationally lensed quasars. These data sets are complemented by the early universe priors taken from the Cosmic Microwave background. For the maximum allowed fraction of the relativistic daughter particle, the updated bounds on the lifetime are found to be $\tau \gt 9\, \rm {Gyr}$ and $\tau \gt 11\, \rm {Gyr}$ at $95{{\ \rm per\ cent}}$ C.L., for the two-body and many-body decay scenarios, respectively. We also comment on the recent proposal that the current two-body decaying dark matter model can provide resolution for the H0-tension, by contrasting against the standard ΛCDM model. We infer that the current dark matter decaying scenario is unlikely to alleviate the H0-tension. We find that the decaying dark matter is able to reduce the trend of the decreasing H0 values with increasing lens redshifts observed in the strong lensing data set.

ABSTRACT Holographic Ricci dark energy evolving through its interaction with dark matter is a natural choice for the running vacuum energy model. We have analysed the relative significance of two versions of this model in the light of type Ia supernovae (SN1a), the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), the Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations (BAO), and Hubble data sets using the method Bayesian inferences. The first one, model 1, is the running holographic Ricci dark energy (rhrde) having a constant additive term in its density form and the second is one, model 2, having no additive constant, instead the interaction of rhrde with dark matter (ΛCDM) is accounted through a phenomenological coupling term. The Bayes factor of these models in comparison with the standard Lambda cold dark matter have been obtained by calculating the likelihood of each model for four different data combinations, SNIa(307)+CMB+BAO, SNIa(307)+CMB+BAO+Hubble data, SNIa(580)+CMB+BAO, and SNIa(580)+CMB+BAO+Hubble data. Suitable flat priors for the model parameters has been assumed for calculating the likelihood in both cases. Our analysis shows that, according to the Jeffreys scale, the evidence for ΛCDM against both model 1 and model 2 is very strong as the Bayes factor of both models are much less than one for all the data combinations.

We investigate cosmological features of the variable Chaplygin gas (VCG) describing a unified dark matter–energy scenario in a universe governed by the five dimensional (5D) Kaluza–Klein (KK) gravity. In such a proposal, the VCG evolves from the dust-like phase to the phantom or the quintessence phases. It is concluded that the background evolution for the KK-type VCG definition is equivalent to that for the dark energy interacting with the dark matter. Next, after performing neo-classical tests, we calculated the proper, luminosity, and angular diameter distances. Additionally, we construct a connection between the VCG in the KK universe and a homogenous minimally coupled scalar field by introducing its self-interacting potential and also we confirm the stability of the KK-type VCG model by making use of thermodynamics. Moreover, we use data from type Ia supernova, observational H(z) dataset and Planck-2015 results to place constraints on the model parameters. Subsequently, according to the best-fit values of the model parameters we analyze our results numerically.

The modified Chaplygin gas could be considered to abide by the unified dark fluid model because the model might describe the past decelerating matter dominated era and at present time it provides an accelerating expansion of the Universe. In this paper, we have employed the Planck 2015 cosmic microwave background anisotropy, type-Ia supernovae, observed Hubble parameter data sets to measure the full parameter space of the modified Chaplygin gas as a unified dark matter and dark energy model. The model parameters Bs, α, and B determine the evolutional history of this unified dark fluid model by influencing the energy density ρMCG = ρMCG0[Bs + (1 − Bs)a−3(1 + B)(1 + α)]1/(1 + α). We assumed the pure adiabatic perturbation of unified modified Chaplygin gas in the linear perturbation theory. In the light of Markov chain Monte Carlo method, we find that Bs = 0.727+0.040+0.075−0.039−0.079, α = −0.0156+0.0982+0.2346−0.1380−0.2180, B = 0.0009+0.0018+0.0030−0.0017−0.0030 at 2σ level. The model parameters α and B are very close to zero and the nature of unified dark energy and dark matter model is very similar to cosmological standard model ΛCDM.

In view of late-time cosmic acceleration, a dark energy cosmological model is revisited wherein Einstein’s cosmological constant is considered as a candidate of dark energy. Exact solution of Einstein field equations (EFEs) is derived in a homogeneous isotropic background in classical general relativity. The solution procedure is adopted in a model-independent way (or the cosmological parametrization). A simple parametrization of the Hubble parameter (H) as a function of cosmic time t is considered which yields an exponential type of evolution of the scale factor (a) and also shows a negative value of deceleration parameter at the present time with a signature flip from early deceleration to late acceleration. Cosmological dynamics of the model obtained have been discussed illustratively for different phases of the evolution of the universe. The evolution of different cosmological parameters is shown graphically for flat and closed cases of Friedmann–Lemaitre–Robertson–Walker (FLRW) spacetime for the presented model (open case is incompatible to the present scenario). We have also constrained our model parameters with the updated (36 points) observational Hubble dataset.

We put forward a pressure-parametric model to study the tiny deviation from cosmological constant(CC) behavior of the dark sector accelerating the expansion of the Universe. Data from cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies, baryonic acoustic oscillations (BAO), Type Ia supernovae (SN Ia) observation are applied to constrict the model parameters. The constraint results show that such model suffers with [Formula: see text] tension as well. To realize this model more physically, we reconstruct it with the quintessence and phantom scalar fields, and find out that although the model predicts a quintessence-induced acceleration of the Universe at past and present, at some moment of the future, dark energy’s density have a disposition to increase.

Redshift surveys of galaxies beyond the local Universe (z ≫ 0.1) are opening up new possibilities to understanding the observed acceleration of cosmic expansion, one of the greatest mysteries of modern science. Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations in the galaxy power spectrum (or correlation function), provide us with a standard rod to measure the expansion history H(z). At the same time, redshift-space distortions in the clustering pattern due to galaxy peculiar motions are a measure of the growth rate of structure f(z). The combination of these two quantities, allows us to distinguish whether cosmic acceleration is due to the existence of a "dark energy" in the cosmic budget, or rather requires a modification of General Relativity. These two radically alternative scenarios are degenerate when considering H(z) alone, as yielded, e.g. by the Hubble diagram of Type Ia supernovae. In this short review paper I will mostly concentrate on the latter measurement, whose potential importance in this context has been recently highlighted. Current results are consistent with the simplest GR-based cosmological constant scenario, but error bars are still large. Detailed forecasts show that next-generation deep surveys optimizing the combination of large volumes and good galaxy sampling will be able to use redshift distortions as a key tool to understand the physical origin of cosmic acceleration. Among these, I introduce the newly started VIMOS Public Extragalactic Redshift Survey (VIPERS) at the ESO VLT, which is building at [Formula: see text] a sample comparable to the local 2dFGRS. Expectations from even larger surveys planned from space-borne observatories such as EUCLID will also be mentioned.

We study the observational constraints on the Phantom Crossing DGP model. We demonstrate that the crossing of the phantom divide does not occur within the framework of the original Dvali–Gabadadze–Porrati (DGP) model or the DGP model developed by Dvali and Turner. By extending their model in the framework of an extra dimension scenario, we study a model that realizes crossing of the phantom divide. We investigate the cosmological constraints obtained from the recent observational data of Type Ia supernovae, cosmic microwave background anisotropies, and baryon acoustic oscillations. The best-fit values of the parameters with 1σ (68%) errors for the Phantom Crossing DGP model are [Formula: see text]. We find that the Phantom Crossing DGP model is more compatible with the observations than the original DGP model or the DGP model developed by Dvali and Turner. Our model can realize late-time acceleration of the universe, similar to that of ΛCDM model, without dark energy due to the effect of DGP gravity. In our model, the crossing of the phantom divide occurs at a redshift of z ~ 0.2.
